Therapeutic Approach & Specialties
Dr. Tuttle believes that healing unfolds within a safe, collaborative relationship where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. Her approach is warm and relational, and grounded in evidence-based practice. She creates a nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients gain insight, develop research-informed coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and build practical skills for lasting growth. She also supports individuals in processing traumatic experiences and addressing trauma-related symptoms, while also helping clients navigate identity-related distress, minority stress, systemic invalidation, and the unique challenges associated with neurodivergent and gender-diverse experiences.
Professional & Academic Background
Dr. Tuttle earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (2011) and M.A. (2005) from the University of Regina, following completion of her B.A. from the University of Victoria (1998). She completed her predoctoral residency at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, a tertiary mental health facility, where she conducted comprehensive psychological assessments and delivered evidence-based treatment for adolescents and adults with acute and complex psychiatric presentations, including mood disorders, bipolar illness, and personality disorders. Her clinical work included individual and group psychotherapy based in Cognitive Behavioural, Schema, and Emotionally Focused Therapy approaches. She subsequently provided psychological services across inpatient and community mental health settings before transitioning into private practice in 2014. Dr. Tuttle is a doctoral-level registrant with the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists and holds Authorized Practice
Endorsement, the designation required to communicate psychological diagnoses in Saskatchewan, and is a member of the Psychological Association of Saskatchewan.
